    Help: Connecting Fiio E10 to Active Bookshelf Speakers & Active Sub

    Currently I have my Powered Edifier Bookshelf speakers connected to the line out of the E10 via 3.5mm to RCA.  What would be the best way to add a powered subwoofer to this setup? The speakers don't have a sub out to connect a sub to it directly.  I was thinking a headphone splitter from the E10...

    Need recommendations upgrading from fiio e10

    I currently have a fiio e10 and I'm looking for an amp/dac upgrade in the $100-$200.  The e10 has a noisy volume knob in which the sounds cuts in and out when adjusting the volume which is pretty annoying.  This will solely be used at my PC.  Something with a bass boost will be nice but not...

    Help! HD-598 drivers touch my ears!

    I love my 598s, but after breaking in the headphones and having the ear pads soften up a bit, the drivers have begun touching my ears.  I've tried adjusting and readjusting how I wear them, but no go.  I've heard there's a good way to mod it so it puts more distance between the ear and driver?

    Cant decide between GR07 mk2 and EPH-100

    I need help deciding between the Vsonic gr07 mk2 and the Yamaha EPH-100.  I use a Fiio E10 at home with some hd 598s and denon 2000s.  With the gr07 mk2, I'm afraid it might be harsh to my ears since I used to have a pair of Shure 440s and those hurt my ears.  With the EPH-100 im worried it...

    Need help choosing <$150 iem

    Hey, I need some help picking out IEMs for <$150.  Durability and sound quality are important and I prefer rather neutral sounding headphones.  I enjoy the sound signatures of HD 598s and HD 650s.

    M-Audio Q40 not popular?

    Just curious as to why these aren't that popular.  There arent many reviews and these headphones seem like a great bang for your buck, basshead headphone.

    Anything simlar to HD 650 but cheaper?

    Looking for headphones similar in sound signature to the HD 650.  Dark, laid back, and warm.  Can be open or closed but needs to be cheaper in price!

    Anything similar to HD 448 but more bass?

    I've listened to the HD 448s and I totally love the mids and highs.  It has that sennheiser sound which I like, if only there were more bass!  Does something out there exist anywhere?

    Need <$200 Headphone to complement my HD 598s

    I own the HD 598s, I love them and it works well with my fiio E10.  Im looking for a second headphone that will complement this thats a bit darker and with a bit more oomph in the bass.  My budget is <$200 and I prefer not to buy used headphones.  Doesn't necessarily need to be an upgrade but...

    HD 598 or HD 650?

    Im totally stumped on this one.  Hours on hours of researching and I still cant decide.  I know the HD 650 is technically better than the HD 598, but is it what I'm looking for and is the price justified?  I currently have the HD 558.  Sounds great and I can't really fault any area except maybe...

    HD 650 + E7/E9 or E9/E10?

    Anyone have the HD 650 setup with the E7/E9 or the newer E9/E10? Im talking about the newer hd 650 model as well. Can anyone comment how those amp/dac setups compare to each other and how they sound?

    Fiio E7/E9 vs E17/E9 vs E10?

    Im not sure if I should get the Fiio E7/E9 combo now or get the E10 amp/dac now.  E10 is really cheap only $80 and I've heard its better audio quality compared to the E7/E9 which is around $180, but obviously the amp has more juice.  Or i could just get the E9 and wait for the E17 later on but...

    So I initially planned to spend $50 on headphones...

    So I initially planned to spend $50 on my first pair of high grade headphones.  I saw some nice jvc harx, sony xbs, those ever popular sony m6 roughly around $50.  I bought the Sony XB500 first: too much bass!  I returned those.  I bought the HD 428 next: too little bass!  I returned those.  I...

    Fiio E10 for HD 558/598 ?

    Anyone have a hd 558/598 paired with the new Fiio E10?  Any significant improvements?  The E10 seems to go for only $80, quite the budget amp/dac combo.  Are there any better options around $100?

    Xonar DX/DG or something else for my headphones?

    Currently im using oboard Realtek audio on my pc for my headphones (HD 558).  They are said to be 50 ohms, however i looked at the impedance and it shows a huge spike to almost 300 ohms.  Im looking for a solid bang for your buck sound card preferrably under $100 (cheaper the better).  I only...

    Questions about HD558..

    I have the hd558s and i typically use them on my PC with the onboard Realtek audio.  They sound great but would I see a major improvement with an amp or new sound card on my pc with a budget of about $100?  If so can anyone recommend me one or the other or with both for a total price of $100...

    Shure SRH440 Upgrade to Sennheiser HD558?

    Hello, I just ordered an HD558 as an upgrade to my trustworthy Shure SRH440!  The Shures have served me well especially with the 840 pads which massively increased comfort and added a noticeable amount of bass and put the sometimes edgy highs in check.  Just wondering if this was worth the...

    HD 558? (Whats your opinion?)

    Anybody have these Sennheiser HD 558s?  Hows the sound quality?  Do they crack like previous HD 5xx series?  Are they comfortable?  I can get these for about $150.00.  Are they worth it?

    Sennheiser HD 518?

    Hi guys, I found a deal for the relatively new Sennheiser HD 518 for only $100.00 Should i grab these?   For reference I previously owned the HD 428, Sony XB500, as well as the Shure SRH440. Short and simple, for the Sony XB500, too much bass muddy mids and highs. Next, I thought the HD428...
